council.
B
Good
morning
everybody
glad
you
could
join
us
for
the
june
15th
city
council
meeting
and
for
we
appreciate
you
tuning
in
to
watch
your
government
at
work.
The
first
order
of
business
is
the
same
every
meeting
and
that
is
asking
god's
presence
on
these
proceedings.
So
I'm
going
to
ask
my
friend,
reverend
emmett
s,
anatom
jr
from
friendship
baptist
church.
If
he
would
come
and
and
seek
the
lord's
blessing
for
us
welcome
pastor.
C
C
Lord
god,
we
praise
you
and
thank
you
for
our
city,
our
mayor
and
our
city,
council,
our
lawyers,
our
law
enforcement
persons
at
the
police
and
the
and
even
the
those
who
help
protect
us.
We
thank
you
for
the
religious
institutions
that
tell
us
about
you
and
your
way
how
to
love
one
another
and
pray
that
you
forgive
us
of
our
wrongdoing
and
our
sins
and
help
us
to
love
one
another.
As
you
have
loved
us,
give
us
now
wisdom,
knowledge
and
understanding
that
we
might
know
what
to
do
when
to
do
it.
C
Thank
you
for
blessing
our
health
agencies,
our
doctors
and
our
nurses
and
those
who
are
out
on
the
front
line
to
care
for
us
as
we
come
in
social
discipline
and
messing
our
faces
to
protect
ourselves
from
deadly
diseases,
we
pray
protect
our
mouths
from
the
deadly
sin
of
evil,
speaking
and
hatred
and
envy
that
you
fill
our
hearts
in
life
of
love
and
peace,
and,
as
we
now
are,
people
of
good
will
taking
care
of
the
business
of
these
citizens
of
this
great
city
that
we
thank
you,
though,
those
who
have
given
themselves
to
be
used
by
you
to
be
a
blessing
to
so
many
others,
lord
god.
C
We
thank
you
and
praise
you
for
your
guidance
and
direction
and
pray.
Not
only
for
our
city,
but
for
all
we,
you
said
in
your
word
that
the
powers
will
be
ordained
of
you,
and
so
we
pray
for
our
national
state
as
well
as
local
leaders
in
our
school
system
as
well,
that
we
might
do
your
will
in
the
world
today,
but
we
must
know
the
truth
and
the
truth
shall
set
us
free.
We
know
the
truth
of
your
son
jesus
who
guide
us
and
direct
us
and
give
us
freedom
in
you.
B
B
D
B
Thank
you.
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes
from
june
8th
motion
made
by
mayor
pro
tem.
Second,
by
councilor
tucker.
Are
there
any
edits
any
changes?
Anybody
would
like
to
make
hearing
none
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed
all
right.
They
are
approved.
B
I
think
it's
right
around
28
percent
have
had
at
least
one
dose
so
we're
getting
close
to
that
30
percent
target
that
that
we
had
set,
and
we
we
really
are
intending
to
kind
of
break
through
that
and
continue
to
move
forward.
The
numbers
themselves
continue
to
stay
flat.
We're
very.
We
were
very
gratified
to
see
that,
following
the
memorial
day
weekend,
which
actually
indicated
our
first
spike
last
year
did
not
have
an
impact,
not
a
noticeable
impact.
We've
stayed
at
about,
I
think
we're
staying
around
under.
E
B
Who
are
hospitalized
in
our
in
our
area,
hospitals
for
covid
the
the
number
that
we
had
been
looking
at
following
the
trends?
The
number
of
cases
per
hundred
thousand
is
down
to
forty
three,
so
so
we
we
are
we're
seeing.
I
think
that
folks,
that
have
either
had
coveted
and
have
still
retained
some
antibodies,
and
certainly
those
that
are
out
there
getting
the
vaccine
are
helping
us
stop
the
spread.
B
I
also
want
to
make
brief
mention
of
the
fine
work
done
by
the
columbus
police
department
this
past
weekend.
Most
of
you
are
aware
that
there
was
my
words:
not
the
police,
but
a
deranged
individual
that
got
hold
of
a
gun
and
was
intent
on
hurting
people
and
over
about
a
12-hour
period
was
successful
in
hurting
them.
Our
prayers
are
with
those
victims.
Thankfully
none
of
those
injuries
have
turned
out
to
be
life-threatening,
but
once
there
was
some
clear
evidence
this
this
was
the
same
individual.
D
B
And
committing
these
these,
these
crimes
police
department
had
identified
the
location,
found
him
and
arrested
him
all
within
just
a
couple
of
hours,
so
very
fine
work
to
them.
The
threat
was
ended.
He
was
not
working
with
anybody
else.
B
He
was
on
his
own,
acting
in
in
an
irrational
manner,
so
we're
grateful
to
our
police
department
we're
grateful
to
the
security
team
from
the
business
improvement
district
and
from
uptown,
so
that
that
that
threat
was
was
ended
quickly,
all
right,
we're
scheduled
for
the
taxpayer
bill
of
rights
at
nine
at
nine
o'clock.
F
Thank
you
mayor.
This
is
the
final
hearing
required
under
state
law.
Three
hearings
on
the
taxpayer,
biller
writes
when
the
projected
tax
digest
the
value
of
all
property
in
muskogee
county
when
it's
projected
to
increase
these
hearings
are
required
and
again,
if
somebody
has
a
homestead
assessment
that
is
frozen
under
our
constitutional
amendment,
their
city
taxes
will
not
change
and
ms
alexander
did
you
want
to
come
up
and
say
a
few
words.
G
Good
morning,
mr
mayor,
mississippi
manager,
members
of
council,
just
as
the
city
manager,
I'm
sorry
the
city
attorney
stated.
This
is
our
third
taxpayer
bill
of
rights
hearing
that
is
required
by
state
law.
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that
the
city
is
not
increasing
its
military.
The
tax
rate
for
the
city
is
not
increasing
and,
as
the
city
attorney
also
mentioned,
if
you
have
a
homestead
exemption,
you
assessed
value
of
your
property
is
frozen,
but
again
we're
not
increasing
the
millage
rate.
G
G
In
terms
of
the
the
reasoning
for
these
hearings,
the
millage
rate
that
is
being
proposed
is
more
than
the
calculated
roll
back
millage,
and
because
of
that,
we
have
to
hold
these
taxpayer
bill
of
rights
hearings
and-
and
that's
only
because
the
total
digest
that
has
been
presented
to
us
currently
by
the
tax
commissioner's
office
is
projected
in
totality
to
be
more
than
the
digest
last
year.
So
we
have
to
calculate
a
rate
to
give
us
the
same
total
revenue,
as
we
collected
last
year,.
F
F
B
H
H
H
H
He
said
they
were
still
in
the
impression
there
was
going
to
be
some
sort
of
townhouses
or
condo
type
development,
and
you
know
obviously
the
developer
and
the
school
board
can
bring
this
back.
H
It's
something
that
they
can
bring
back,
but
I
would
highly
recommend
that
they
bring
the
developer
with
them
when
they
do
and
also
that
they
consider
the
residents
in
putting
the
entrance
definitively
on
rosemont
drive
just
because
I
don't
think
anybody
at
this
table
would
want
to
want
to
have
apartments
backing
up
right
to
their
house
and
have
increased
traffic,
and
I
think
the
residents
will
work
with
them.
I
think
they're
willing
to
work
with
them,
but
developer
has
not
been
playing
a
part
in
this
game.
H
J
I'd
like
to
ask
the
city
attorney:
if
we
vote
no
on
this,
this
does
not
preclude
the
developer.
Doing
what
council
garrett
has
suggested
and
coming
back
to
us
through
the
planning
department
at
a
later
date.
Is
that
correct.
B
Yes,
ma'am
all
right,
seeing
or
hearing
no
further
discussion,
I'll
call
for
the
vote,
all
those
in
favor
of
denial,
please
say:
aye
any
opposed
all
right
that
that's
denied.
F
B
F
B
F
B
Motion
approved
by
the
budget
chair,
counselor,
thomas
second,
from
mayor
pro
tem
any
discussion
on
the
budget,
all
right
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed.
It
passes.
Okay,.
D
F
B
B
F
All
right
and
now
we
have
the
public
hearing
on
the
millage
rates
for
the
consolidated
government:
three
urban
service
districts,
three
business
improvement
districts
for
the
year;
2021
urban
service,
district,
1,
17.51
millage
rate,
as
ms
alexander
stated
earlier-
and
she
is
here
again
if
there
are
any
questions.
F
F
L
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I've
got
a
couple
of
items
on
my
agenda
and
I
will
tell
you
now
that
when
I
get
to
item
number,
two
uptown
tax
allocation
district
fund
grant
at
211
13th
street,
well
211
13th
street
llc
as
owner
and
cotton
development
llc
as
developer,
I'm
going
to
have
the
deputy
city
manager,
pam
hodge
to
come
up
and
just
kind
of
update.
Excuse
me,
I'm
sorry,
rick
jones
planning
director
to
come
up
and
and
update
us
before.
L
We
ask
you
to
vote
on
item
two
but
item
number
one
is
the
fiscal
year
22
inmate
capacity
agreement
and
asking
your
approval
today,
and
this
would
be
up
to
528
state
inmates
to
be
housed
at
the
muscogee
county
prison,
and
you
know
that
the
georgia
department
of
corrections
will
pay
the
sum
of
22
dollars
per
inmate
per
day
for
the
duration
of
the
agreement
to
the
city
and
these
funds
are
used
to
offset
the
annual
operating
budget
of
the
muscular
county
prison
and
so
it's
inmate
capacity
agreement
up
to
528
inmates.
M
Yes,
city
manager,
you
probably
won't
be
able
to
answer
this.
Excuse
me,
my
asthma
is
acting
up
today.
Why
is
the
the
fee
so
low
22
dollars?
Because
how
much
does
it
really
cost
to
house
an
enemy.
L
B
M
M
We
put
that
as
a
legislative
agenda
to
see
if
we
can
get
a
little
bit
more
than
22
dollars.
Please.
M
L
Yeah-
and
we
can
certainly
have
it
as
a
legislative
agenda,
but
I
am
sure
they
are
considering
the
fact
that
we
are
the
largest
work
camp
in
the
state
and
there
are
only
a
few
others
across
the
state
and
that
there's
a
value
to
the
inmate
labor.
So
I
I
don't
know,
but
we
certainly
would
love
to
have
more
than
22
dollars
per
day
and
we
can
ask
for
it
and
on
the
legislative
agenda.
M
No
and
I
tend
to
agree
with
you
and
I
understand,
but
it
doesn't
hurt
to
ask
and
if
they
say
no
at
least
we
attempted
to
get
more
money
into
our
budget
sure
and
I'm
interested.
If
I
can
just
get
an
email.
I
don't
know
I
don't
know
my
colleagues
are
interested,
but
I'm
interested
to
see
how
much
it
costs
per
day
for
one
inmate.
B
Move
there's
a
motion
from
councillor
woodson.
Second,
from
the
mayor
pro
tem,
any
discussion
hearing,
none
all
in
favor,
say
aye.
Anyone
opposed
that's
approved,
mr
manager,.
L
And
thank
you
mayor
and
council,
I
am
gonna,
have
I
say
rick
jones
and
it's
the
deputy
city
manager,
I
say
deputy
city
manager
and
it's
the
planning
director
rick
jones,
but
both
of
them
we'll
talk
about
this,
and
so
I'm
gonna
yield
the
mic
to
deputy
city
manager,
pam,
hyde,.
N
N
These
improvements
will
include
things
like
sidewalks
bus
stops,
outdoor
green
space,
storm
water
and
drainage,
and
public
parking,
also,
a
connection
to
the
dragonfly
trail
system.
The
2113th
street
is
the
owner.
Cotton
development
is
the
developer
they're
requesting
1
million
984
269
from
the
uptown
tad
funds.
N
Approving
these
tad
funds
back
in
2020,
as
a
project
allowed
us
to
enter
into
those
negotiations,
determine
how
much
the
funds
how
the
funds
would
be
distributed.
Number
of
payments,
timing
of
those
payments.
So
we've
worked
with
the
developer.
Our
city
attorney's
office,
the
finance
director,
in
order
to
come
forward
today
with
the
recommended
agreement,
that
is,
one
million
nine
hundred
and
eighty
four
thousand
two
hundred
and
sixty
nine
that
will
be
paid
out
over
a
five
year
period
of
three
hundred
and
ninety
six
thousand
eight
hundred
and
fifty
three
dollars
and
eighty
cents.
N
Those
payouts
will
begin
december,
15
of
2021,
so
that
is
this
year.
If
there
were
to
be
inadequate
funds
in
order
to
make
the
payment
each
year
it
would
extend
the
length
of
this
agreement
is
15
years.
We
anticipate
that
this
will
be
paid
out
over
that
five
year
period,
but
if
there
are
changes
to
the
digest
and
there
were
insufficient
funds,
it
would
allow
us
to
go
out
for
a
maximum
of
15
years.
N
They
designated
the
council
as
the
redevelopment
agency,
and
so
today,
what
we're
requesting
is
approval
of
this
agreement
with
2113
llc
as
the
owner
and
cotton
development
as
the
developer
and
chris
woodruff
is
here.
If
there
are
any
questions
specific
to
the
development
at
high
side
market,
but
you
can
see
activities
been
going
on
and
they're
moving
forward.
I'm
sure
he
can
give
a
brief
update
of
where
they're
at
with
the
project
itself.
B
O
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
council
for
your
time
this
morning
and
city
manager
as
well
and
all
staff.
It's
a
pleasure
standing
before
you
today
and
I'm
just
I'm
thrilled
to
say
that
the
project
for
high
side
market
has
begun
you've
seen
the
work,
that's
under
construction
at
the
corner
of
2nd
avenue
and
13th
street.
O
None
of
this
could
have
been
possible
without
y'all's
belief
and
what
we
said
we
were
going
to
do.
Y'all
allowed
us
and
and
pack,
and
the
planning
commission
allowed
us,
and
the
plan
department
allowed
us
to
do
some
exploratory
work
two
years
ago.
That
led
us
down
the
right
path
to
where
we
are
today,
and
because
of
your
faith
and
and
in
our
development
team.
O
O
O
O
B
J
J
That
doesn't
always
happen
when
we
have
someone
waiting
on
construction
and
but
I
appreciate
you're
doing
that
and
you're
making
sure
that
again,
as
the
mayor
said,
this
fits
into
our
community
and
is
a
integral
part
of
the
community.
So
thank
you
so
much.
Yes,.
O
B
M
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
say
on
behalf
of
the
district
and
myself.
Thank
you.
You
have
been
a
man
of
your
word.
M
You
are
an
example
to
other
developers
how
partnerships
work,
and
I
echo
the
sentiments
of
my
colleague,
thomas,
it's
beautiful
when
you
drive
by
there
and
it's
nice
and
neat,
and
you
can
see
the
development
starting,
I'm
very
excited
to
see
the
things
that
we
have
discussed
become
a
reality
and
to
be
able
to
celebrate
another
wonderful
thing
for
columbus
and
the
tourists
that
visit
us
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
more
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
So
much
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart.
P
Thank
you
mayor,
mr
woodruff,
just
said
something
that
I
think
is
really
key
to
all
this
or
one
of
the
key
ingredients
to
all
this
is
investing
in
the
community
or
making
our
community
beautiful.
P
P
If
you're
doing
that,
it's
a
good
thing
for
everybody,
so
we've
got
a
great
plane
department,
just
hope
that
they
will
always
just
make
sure
that
the
developers
are
being
responsible
and
if
we're
putting
in
taxpayer
dollars,
then
you
know
we
won't.
We
want
good
stuff
on
the
ground.
So
please
please
keep
that
in
the
back
of
your
mind
when
you
have
your
staff
meetings
and
and
share
that
with
the
staff.
Thank
you,
mr
city
manager,.
B
B
All
right,
we
have
a
motion
from
councillor
woodson
to
approve
a
through
f.
Is
that
correct
all
right?
Is
there
a
second
from
counselor
house?
Is
there
any
item
that
a
counselor
would
like
pulled
for?
Further
discussion
are
hearing
none
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye.
Anyone
opposed
all
right.
They
passed
mr
city
manager.
If
you
read
through
them
please
or
for
the
folks
that
are
watching.
L
Yes,
sir,
a
is
a
state
mandated
solid
waste
disposal
fee.
It
comes
to
you
each
year
this
time
and
it's
a
total
of
the
tonnage
of
solid
waste
that
was
disposed
in
the
landfill
over
a
period
of
time
b
would
be
master
services
and
purchasing
agreement
for
body
cams
and
accessories
for
the
sheriff
c
is
mold
removal,
services,
d
scoreboards,
with
accessories
for
ports
and
rec
e,
uninterrupted
power
source
replacement
at
mckee,
road
radio
tower
and
f
with
the
body.
L
Cams
and
services
for
the
police
department
is
for
240
officers,
and-
and
this
is
a
five-year
deal
where
year,
one
it's
going
to
cost
527,
584
and
20
cents
for
equipment,
purchases,
cloud
storage
and
all
of
everything
else
that
goes
with
it
years.
Two
through
five
would
be
a
hundred
forty
four
thousand
six
hundred
thirteen
dollars
and
thirty
two
cents
per
year
for
licensing
and
data
storage,
and
this
is
for
240
officers
at
the
columbus
police
department.
J
Mr
city
manager,
in
reading
this
list
of
purchases,
I
see
that
several
of
them,
I
think,
would
be
coming-
should
be
coming
out
of
the
old
loss
funds.
Is
that
correct?
Are
there
any
loss
funds
in
these?
I
and
these
items.
L
The
sheriff's
office-
yes,
police
department,
yeah
funds-
would
be
other
local
option:
sales
tax
for
public
safety
and
but
but
yeah
the
loss
for
capital
expenditures,
and
so
the
answer
to
your
question
is
yes.
J
I
I
would
like
to
remind
my
fellow
counselors
and
those
who
may
be
listening
that
when
we
adopted
the
olafs,
we
said
that
any
employee
that
is
hired
by
and
it
may
have
been
just
the
public
safety
employees
that
is
hired
under
the
old
loss,
all
of
their
equipment
and
their
salary
and
so
forth
would
be
coming
out
of
the
laws
for
the
for
their
entire
career
with
us,
and
so
some
of
this
may
fit
that
category,
and
some
of
it
may
be
additional
folks,
which
is
also
allowed
under
what
we
did.
J
I
think
for
the
olaf.
So
we
are
looking
at
the
oh
loss.
We
are
spending
it.
I
think
appropriately
and
the
one
thing
that
we
must
do
is
to
keep
our
public
safety
employees
safe
and
they
need
this
kind
of
equipment
and
this
kind
of
service
and
so
forth.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
people
knew
this
this.
This
is
what
you,
the
old
loss
is
spent
is
spent
on
these
kinds
of
things.
M
I'm
not
on
this
topic,
but
before
the
city
manager
does
his
updates.
I
would
like
to
make
a
request.
Is
this
appropriate
time.
M
City
manager,
can
you
follow
up
on
finding
out
who
I,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
I
was
told
that
it
subcontract
out
the
victory
drive
in
fort
benning
road,
where
the
flags
are
that's
a
gateway
into
columbus
and
it's
in
bad
shape.
The
flags
are
bad.
The
grass
is
always
high.
That
needs
to
be
maintained
constantly.
Every
time
I
go
out,
I
see
it.
M
The
other
one
is
when
you
come
from
the
civic
center
when
you
come
off
of
victory,
drive
and
the
civic
centers
to
your
left,
going
up
all
those
trees
in
that
area,
and
I
know
a
shortage
of
people,
but
I'm
not
sure
if
that's
part
of
the
contract,
those
trees
are
growing.
M
L
Well-
and
let
me
say,
I'm
not
sure
if
you
were
talking
about
185
and
fourth
and
and
victory
or
victory
at
fort
benning
road,
but
victory
at
fort
benning
road
is
under
construction.
L
You
know
we're
doing
the
streetscapes
from
the
roundabout
on
fort
benning
at
casita,
all
the
way
out
to
fort
benning
road
and
with
the
white
10
foot,
wide
12-foot,
white,
sidewalks
and
all
of
everything,
and
so
because
it's
under
construction.
That's
why
it's
looking
like
that
at
this
time,
but
but
yeah,
it's
a
gateway
project,
and
once
that
construction
has
been
completed
on
fort
benning
road,
it's
really
torn
up.
As
you
know,
I
mean
it's
in
your
area,
then
that
area
will
come
back
to
the
usual
high
level
treatment
or.
M
And
what
I'm
talking
about
is
ace
furniture
is
right
there
across
the
street.
M
L
L
K
L
Okay
and
I
believe
that
project
it's
in
the
hands
of
the
construction
people
and
not
the
city
at
this
time,.
L
L
L
And
I
can.
I
can
appreciate
that
I
think
I
heard
counselor
thomas
commend
chris
as
well,
and
chris
is
special.
L
He
goes
above
and
beyond
like
we'd
like
all
to
do,
and
we
know
all
don't
voluntarily
spend
money
to
go
above
and
beyond
and
we
would
love
for
them
to
and
I'm
sure
see
chris
on
a
city
project
I
mean
they'll,
do
it
and
pass
the
costs
on
to
us
and
as
part
of
the
project,
but
I
get
your
point
and
I
think
you're
right,
I
think
it'd
be
good
if
we
can
get
all
to
do
that.
But
I
get
your
point.
Thank
you
mayor.
L
I've
got
just
a
couple,
more
updates
and
let
me
just
say
that
this
first
update
a
is
is
not
an
update.
Typically,
when
we
are
in
a
an
rfp
process
we
will
we
would
never
come
before
you
to
do
an
update
ever,
but
because
of
the
interest
in
and
and
you
notice,
it's
referred
to
as
animal
control
care
and
control
services.
L
Rfp
there's
no
specific
name
mentioned
in
this
update
and
but
I
thought
because
we
often
get
we
get
questions
while
we're
in
the
middle
of
this
rfp
process
from
each
of
you,
because
you
hear
from
groups
that
we
would
come
and
give
you
an
update
and
say
to
you.
This
is
an
update.
Don't
ask
questions.
L
L
And
and-
and
you
know
I
I
can
tell
you-
the
city
attorney
said
to
me:
yeah,
you
can
do
the
update,
but
you
know
we
just
need
to
be
careful
of
how
we
handle
it,
because
we
typically
don't
do
this
and
I'm
just
being
facetious
of
funny.
But
we
want
you
to
have
the
update
without
calling
names
and
doing
all
that
stuff.
So
with
that
deputy
city
manager,
lisa
goodwin.
Thank.
Q
Q
Q
Is
to
determine
if
there
are
a
private
agencies
out
there
that
can
provide
the
service
in
a
cost,
effective,
efficient
and
professional
manner.
All
the
proposals
should
be
able
to
show
history
of
similar
work,
their
qualifications,
business
owner
president,
a
little
bit
about
the
veterinarian
and
their
staff.
Q
The
minimum
qualifications
that
we
are
looking
for
on
this
would
be.
They
must
provide
services
by
the
mandates
of
the
state
and
ccg
code
of
ordinances,
specifically
animal
control
and
enforcement.
Ordinance
they
have
to
be
a
licensed.
Animal
rescue
by
the
state
of
georgia
must
possess
a
501c3
and
to
be
able
to
receive,
apply
for
and
receive.
Grants
must
have
a
minimum
of
10
years
of
experience
in
operating
an
animal
shelter.
Q
Q
The
things
these
items
that
are
listed
are
things
that
we
are
they're
as
we're
asking
them
to
provide
and
to
highlight
into
in
detail
these
things,
such
as
personnel,
staffing,
hours
of
operation,
animal
care,
service
policies
and
procedures
in
take
impound
services,
adoption
placement
veterinary
services
a
little
bit
about
their
owner
notification,
injur
and
injured
animals,
return
to
owner
services,
animal
control
enforcement
services,
community
programs,
administrative
services,
emergency
management
and
disaster
planning
and
required
records
and
reports.
Again.
Q
We're
going
to
do
all
that
we
can
to
ensure
that
those
employees
who
are
not
hired
by
the
new
contractor,
we
find
them
placement
within
ccg
and
we
don't
want
any
employee
to
lose
their
job.
Well,
city
vehicles
be
transferred
with
the
new
contract.
Yes,
but
again
we
are
continuing
through
the
process
of
working
out.
All
of
those
details
will
inmates
be
provided
under
this
contract.
No
inmates
will
not
and
cannot
be
provided
to
private
organizations.
Q
Will
the
city
continue
to
have
a
representative
on
the
animal
care
animal
control
advisory
board?
Yes,
city
will
continue
to
have
representation
throughout
the
contract
period.
The
project
timeline
is
listed
here
again
started
with
us
issuing
the
rfp
on
march.
The
26th
came
back
on
the
17th
of
april.
Q
The
9th
we
have
an
ordinance
that
will
come
before
you
to
be
revised
on
allowing
a
private
company
to
operate
the
animal
care
and
control,
and
then,
of
course,
even
on
the
enforcement
side,
then
preliminary
approved
a
preliminary
contract
approval
by
the
staff
between
the
july
17th
and
the
26th.
Q
We
will
look
to
bring
it
to
council
on
july,
the
27th
and
first
reading
august,
the
10th
second
reading
august,
the
24th
start
of
the
contract
september.
The
1st
and
the
proposer
has
requested
a
eight-week
transition
period,
which
would
be
through
october,
the
31st
and,
of
course
all
of
this
is
subject
to
change
as
we
continue
to
review
and
negotiate
the
contract
again.
This
provides
the
update
of
this
rfp.
Thank
you.
L
I
hope
this
is
helpful,
the
timeline
and
all-
and
we
are,
as
you
can
see,
from
the
timeline
in
the
middle
of
a
process
of
an
rfp
and
typically
we
would
not
bring
something
to
you
and
present
information
to
you
while
we
are
in
that
process.
But
I
know
it's
important
to
so
many
of
you
and
we
want
you
to
have
as
much
information
that
we
can
provide.
L
And
again
I
I
will
answer
questions,
but
I
did
well.
I
shouldn't
say
that,
because
I
did
talk
to
the
city
attorney
and
he
says
you
know
it's
in
the
middle
of
a
process
and
you
really
don't
need
to
get
into
a
public
discussion
about
it,
while
you're
in
the
process.
So
why
don't?
I
just
leave
it
at
that.
But
if
you
have
questions
talk
to
us
one-on-one
and
we
will
answer
questions
you
have,
if
that's
okay,.
L
N
Hodge
good
morning,
again,
mayor
and
council,
this
is
just
an
update
on
the
special
purpose:
local
options,
sales
tax
proposal.
We
held
our
first
public
meeting
last
evening.
We
had
a
few
citizens
that
came
out.
We
also
televised
live
on
ccg
tv,
so
we're
just
trying
to
get
the
word
out
as
much
as
possible
about
the
proposal
for
the
special
purpose:
local
option,
sales,
tax
or
splost.
N
Again,
this
is
the
timeline.
The
plan
is
for
the
it
to
be
on
the
ballot
november,
the
second
working
backwards
from
that
date.
The
call
for
the
election
would
then
be
on
august.
The
third,
the
council
would
be
required
to
adopt
a
resolution
on
july
27th
in
order
to
meet
that
november,
2nd
timeline.
N
N
N
The
presentation
is
also
on
our
the
city's
website
on
the
main
page,
so
you'll
be
able
to
see
that
as
well
from
those
locations
and
we'll
also
be
putting
that
out
on
social
media.
The
proposal
for
the
splost
is
a
400
million
dollar
splost,
we're
estimating
that
collection
period
for
approximately
10
years.
We're
collecting
this
year,
anticipating
about
41
million
dollars
in
sales
tax,
so
it
could
be
less
than
that
10-year
period.
As
long
as
a
consolidated
government
issues,
general
obligation,
bonds
related
to
a
splost,
the
collection
period
is
until
that
amount
is
collected.
N
We
did
hire
a
consultant
through
our
process
to
work
with
us
on
the
evaluation
of
the
government
center,
which
is
really
the
discussion
that
this
was
centered
around
several
years
ago
and
what
they
did
was
evaluate
the
four
options
for
the
future
of
the
government
center.
As
you
know,
we've
had
a
lot
of
challenges
with
the
government
center,
and
so
we
looked
at
four
options:
one
included
a
renovation
of
the
government
center
with
an
addition
option.
N
Two
was
a
new
complex
on
the
existing
site,
and
that
would
be
both
the
judicial
center
and
the
government
or
city
government
administration
option.
Three
would
be
a
new
judicial
center
on
the
existing
site,
an
administration
building
on
an
alternative
site
and
then
option
four
would
be
new
complex
either
one
or
two
buildings
on
a
new
site,
and
so
our
consultant
team
evaluated
those
four
options.
One
of
the
things
they
looked
at
was
right-sizing
those
functions
of
government.
N
The
city
government
was
102
000
square
feet,
recommending
107
000
square
feet,
so
just
a
minor
increase
in
city
government,
where
we
saw
the
difference
and
the
requirement
needed
was
on
the
judicial
side
at
260.
000
square
feet
recommending
approximately
three
hundred
and
fifty
nine
thousand
square
feet.
N
This
particular
slide
shows
really
best
practices
and
how
you
would
compare
our
courtroom
setting
now
compared
to
best
practices
and
there's
different
colors.
The
blue
represents
the
courtroom,
and
so
the
courtroom
itself
is
about
the
appropriate
size
for
breast
practices,
but
the
jury.
Deliberation
room
is
not
exactly
situated
as
far
as
best
practices
are
concerned.
N
The
yellow
represents
the
public
space
and
you
can
see
in
the
best
practice
example.
There
is
more
space
provided
for
public
interaction
if
you've
gone
to
a
courtroom.
You
know
that
you're
standing
in
the
hallway
outside
the
courtroom.
This
really
provides
that
space
needed
for
the
public
and
what
you
notice
in
the
orange
is
the
inmate
space.
In
the
current
example,
there
is,
the
holding
cell
is
a
central
location
in
the
government
center
and
there's
only
one
inmate
elevator
to
transport
inmates
to
court.
N
N
So
we've
come
back
to
option
3a,
which
would
be
a
new
courthouse
or
judicial
center
on
the
existing
site.
The
recorder's
court
would
remain
adjacent
to
the
jail
there's
a
lot
of
efficiencies
that's
gained
with
having
recorders
court
at
the
jail,
removing
the
sheriff's
administration
from
the
actual
judicial
center.
A
lot
of
the
functions
that
the
sheriff
performs
is
not
courtroom
related.
J
Miss
hodge,
I
know
the
recorder's
court
to
remain
adjacent
to
the
jail.
I
also
know
in
talking
with
judge
hunter
in
the
recorder's
court
that
there
are
some
renovations,
if
you
will,
that
would
bring
that
up
more
up-to-date
and
easier
to
use.
Is
that
part
of
this
at
all.
N
It
is
not
part
of
the
splost
proposal,
but
it
is
something
that
we
are
evaluating
with
our
consultants
as
we're.
Looking
at
how
the
sheriff's
administration
space
would
be
located
on
the
jail
site
and
improvements
to
the
jail
as
well
as
recorders
court,
but
that
would
be
a
separate
project
outside
of
the
splost.
But
yes
ma'am.
We
are
looking
at
that.
B
J
I
N
Yes,
ma'am,
and
that
is
something
that
we're
looking
at
to
make
sure
that
the
sheriff's
functions
that
are
related
specifically
with
the
court
functions
remain
with
the
judicial
center.
So
we
have
been
in
discussions
with
the
sheriff
to
make
sure
that
split
between
court-related
share
functions
and
their
just
solely
their
administration
that
we
provide
ample
space
for
those
things
to
remain
in
the
judicial
center.
Okay,.
L
L
It
would
not
be
exact,
it
would
not
be.
This
is
what
it's
going
to
be
choose
option
one
two
three,
but
here
are
some
examples.
It's
not
gonna,
look
like
what
you
see
in
the
powerpoint,
but
it
could
look
like
one
two,
three
four
or
something
different
that
they
know.
That
is
certainly
not
going
to
be
what
you
see
in
this
powerpoint.
L
N
P
Getting
the
rest
of
the
required
documents,
whether
it's
current
well
current
and
projected
operational
costs,
so
we
can
understand
this
in
totality.
I
don't
I
I
think
those
are
required
and
I
personally
would
like
to
see
I'd
like
to
see.
I
think
it's
important
that
citizens
will
be
able
to
see
any
efficiencies
created,
but
I
believe
it's
required
for
the
detailed
operational
cost
of
any
structure
as
it
relates
to
the
government.
Well,.
L
And
that
that's
a
good
point,
good
question,
councillor
davis,
I
think
what
we
as
we
continue
through
this
process.
We
need
to
provide
you
the
current
cost
of
operations
of
of
what
we
have
today
and
and
then
what
we
project
the
operations
will
be
in
the
new
judicial
center.
L
We,
you
know
if
this
comes
to
fruition
or
winning,
and
if
you
know
we
can't
you
know
we,
we
need
to
maintain
this
new
building
in
a
different
way
than
what
this
current
building
has
been
maintained,
in
other
words,
not
with
prison
labor,
and
it
has
to
be
with
either
internal
staff
or
an
outs.
L
You
know
use
of
outside
sources,
plumbers,
electricians
and
all
on
contract,
and
because
it
has
to
be
maintained
and
and
done
right,
and
so
I
think
to
your
point
about
operational
cause.
Yes,
we
need
to
figure
out
what
that
operation
cost
will
be
for
a
new
building
judicial
center
and
what
the
current
cost
of
operations
for
this
building
that
was
constructed
in
1971
and
the
difference.
N
B
Projects,
I'm
sorry,
deputy
manager,
councilor
thomas.
J
Are
they
going
to
be
able
to
hold
court
during
the
demolition
of
the
the
wings
before
they
get
to
the
to
the
building
to
the
current
building,
where
the
courts
are?
Oh.
N
No,
they
will
be
able
to
hold
court
we'll
have
to
work
the
construction
schedule
around
the
courts
and
to
make
sure
that
the
noise
does
not
interfere
with
the
court
operations.
Obviously,
during
a
construction
time,
there
is
going
to
be
some
noise,
but
we'll
definitely
work
around
their
schedule.
The
intention
is
to
have
them
remain
in
the
tower
during
the
construction
of
a
new
courtroom.
P
N
N
No,
the
parking
structure
and
the
wings
would
be
would
be
demolished
and
that's
where
the
new
court
space
would
be
there
would,
and
of
course
it
has
not
been
designed.
Yet
this
is
all
concepts
and
preliminary
assessments,
but
the
in
anticipation
would
be.
There
would
be
some
parking
below
the
judicial
center
secured
parking,
the
sally
port,
those
kind
of
operations,
and
then
the
parking
structure
itself
would
be
where
the
tower
sits.
Now.
N
N
So
for
the
recommended
budget
for
the
splost
I'll
go
through
each
one
of
these
projects
individually
again,
the
judicial
center
out
of
the
400
million
200
million
would
be
judicial
center.
This
would
be
approximately
ten
thousand
square
feet
with
an
estimated
five
to
six
hundred
space
parking
facility.
It
would
house
all
of
the
courts
superior
state,
municipal
magistrate,
probate
and
juvenile
courts,
the
judges
and
the
clerks
for
each
of
those
courts,
district
attorney,
public
defender,
accountability,
courts
and
all
other
court
related
functions.
N
The
next
project
is
parks
and
recreation,
45
million.
What
we
heard
in
the
public
meetings
from
2019
is
a
need
for
improvement
at
our
existing
parks.
These
improvements
would
include
flat
rock
carver
park,
cooper,
creek
park,
benning
park
lake
bottom
park,
theo
mcgee
park
and
woodrow
farms
soccer
complex.
R
Yes,
ma'am,
you
mentioned
on
the
shirley
winston
park,
pool
splash
pad
not
my
district,
but
a
lot
of
people
live
in
my
district
use
that
facility
for
swimming
over
the
years,
and
they
are
real
adamant
about
trying
to
get
a
pool
back
there.
You
can
have
an
additional
splash
pad,
but
they
want
the
pool
because
there's
nowhere
for
the
kids
to
learn
how
to
swim
and
to
partake
in
swimming
during
the
summer.
L
I
think
they've
got
one
in
lagrange
and
I
was
traveling
over
in
arkansas,
saw
one
off
the
highway
and
got
off
to
go
and
see
it.
You
know
and
they've
got
the
slide
and
all
of
the
different
features,
and
it's
it's
like
a
theme
park.
You
know,
and
so
there's
there
are
a
number
of
options,
but
it
would
be.
The
thought
is
a
larger
splash
pad,
not
the
mini
splash
pad.
L
You
turn
the
water
feature
on
and
kids
go
out
and
play
and
it
could
be
on
a
timer
on
a
certain
day
and
you
might
play-
and
you
just
I
mean
it's
a
smaller
splash
pad,
but
shirley
winston
in
the
where
the
larger
pools
are
today.
The
olympic-sized
pools
could
be
a
large
splash
pad
and
not
a
pool
or
a
combination
of
pool
and
splash.
We
don't
know
it's
a
matter
of
what
the
citizens
say
they
want.
You
know.
R
Okay,
I
remember
parks
and
rec
showed
us
in
the
presentation
what
you
mentioned
about
the
combination
of
having
a
splash
bag
outside
pool
inside
okay.
Thank.
N
N
The
next
project
on
the
list
is
public
safety
facility
renovations.
This
would
be
a
complete
renovation,
an
upgrade
of
three
fire
stations.
Four
six
and
eight
four
is
located
off
of
saint
mary's
road,
six
off
of
brown
avenue
and
eight
off
of
whitesville
road,
as
well
as
renovations
of
the
public
safety
building.
As
you
know,
the
public
safety
building
was
built
in
the
early
90s
and
is
in
need
of
some
upgrades
and
renovations
to
that
facility
as
well.
N
The
next
project
would
be
public
safety,
vehicle
and
equipment
at
24
million.
This
would
include
fire
trucks,
ambulances,
administrative
vehicles
for
the
fire
department,
as
well
as
pursuit
vehicles,
the
replacement
of
the
target
system
and
firearm
simulator
administrative
vehicles,
inmate
transport
vans
bomb
squad
robot
for
the
sheriff's
office,
as
well
as
replacement
of
the
river
road
tower
pursuit
vehicles,
suvs
motorcycles
and
a
mobile
command
vehicle
for
the
police
department.
N
Transportation
would
include
resurfacing
for
20
million
and
continue
to
work
on
our
trail
and
sidewalk
network
for
4
million
storm
water
and
flood
abatement.
We
came
to
council
in
may
of
20
with
a
prioritization
list
for
our
storm
water
projects.
We
have
some
significant
needs
for
storm
water
improvements
throughout
our
community.
N
These
were
the
projects
that
were
on
that
prioritization
list
anywhere
from
front
avenue:
buena
vista
road,
14th
street
and
broadway
wind
field,
loop,
storm
water,
edge
water,
the
combined
sewer
at
broadway
for
4th
to
9th
street
historic
broadway,
chattahoochee
riverwalk,
there's
some
improvements
for
storm
water
that
need
to
be
made
on
that,
as
well
as
other
priority
pipe
rehab.
That
needs
to
be
done
for
storm
water,
bull,
creek,
clubhouse
and
bridge
4
million.
This
is
to
replace
the
bull
creek
clubhouse,
as
well
as
a
bridge.
N
That's
been
down
at
that
facility
for
a
number
of
years,
as
well
as
a
renovation
of
the
oxbow
creek
clubhouse
heavy
equipment
and
vehicles
14
million.
This
would
be
anything
for
public
works
parks
and
recreation
engineering
to
include
tractors,
trailers,
dump
trucks,
mowers,
compactors,
excavators,
passenger
vans
and
other
heavy
equipment
and
vehicle
replacement
information
technology.
N
Continuing
to
make
sure
that
we
replace
our
commuter
computer
equipment
throughout
the
government
on
a
regular
basis,
economic
development,
nine
million
dollars
additional
infrastructure
and
site
preparation
for
muskogee
technology
park
and
also
targeting
a
south
columbus
redevelopment.
N
As
we
did
with
the
liberty
district
in
the
last
lost
five
million
dollars
actually
for
the
trade
center.
The
facility
that
we're
in
this
would
be
for
the
replacement
or
renovation
of
their
existing
parking
structure.
They
currently
have
about
397
spaces,
and
this
would
be
coupled
with
a
2003
bond
that
was
issued
for
just
over
4
million
dollars,
with
this
5
million
dollars
to
provide
approximately
500
spaces
for
this
facility
and
the
uptown
area,
the
civic
center
renovations
to
the
civic
center,
replacing
the
roof.
N
The
sound
system,
the
display
system,
the
video
board
and
the
scoreboard
in
the
facility
and
the
hvac
system
at
the
civic
center-
and
this
is
just
to
show
the
current
sales
tax
in
muskogee
county
at
this
time-
is
8
percent
that
is
split
between
the
state
and
then
the
local
local
option,
sales
taxes,
either
through
a
lost
or
splost
for
the
education.
The
transportation
splash
gives
us
a
total
currently
of
eight
percent.
N
N
N
This
is
just
the
history
of
the
sales
taxes
in
muskogee
county,
the
east
bloss
they've,
had
five
east
lost,
we've
had
two
splost
in
the
past
and
one
t-splost
the
public
meetings
we
had
our
first
one.
Last
evening
I
will
have
two
more
one
on
the
17th
and
one
on
the
21st
they'll
be
held
from
5
30
to
7
at
the
city
service
center
in
council
chambers,
and
it
will
be
televised,
live
on
ccgtv
and
we
do
have
the
opportunity.
N
If
you
want
to
watch
from
home,
you
can
submit
your
questions
during
the
live
broadcast
either
by
calling
in
or
going
through
an
option
on
your
computer
just
to
send
us
a
question
we'll
be
happy
to
respond
to
those
during
the
meeting
and
at
this
time
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Counselor.
N
P
Miss
city
manager,
you
know
a
while
back.
We've
had
some
community
meetings
where
there's
been
a
lot
of
concerns
about
the
soil
erosion,
sedimentation
buildup
in
lake
oliver
and
the
adjacent
area
standing
boy,
roaring
branch,
creek,
brookstone
creek,
you
know.
Lately
it's
come
to
my
attention
and
I
did
I've
asked.
I
think
we
put
this
on
the
request,
the
legislative
wish
list.
P
I
even
wrote
it
down
as
a
possible
the
splots
being
a
funding
mechanism
to
try
to
help
with
some
of
what
is
going
on.
We
we
do
have
a
brookstone
has
been
re.
Brookstone
high
school
has
been
reporting
a
lot
lately.
I
brought
this
to
the
attention
of
engineering
that
and
I
think,
they've
looked
at
some
aspects
of
it,
but.
P
We've
got
a
problem
there
we
tried
to
deal
with
it
many
years
ago.
We
had
some
money
remaining.
I
believe,
out
of
the
past,
plots
that
we
went
in
there
and
did
some
dredging
around
the
marina
and
cleaned
it
out.
Well,
we
did
as
much
as
with
the
money
as
far
as
the
money
would
take
us
was
back
at
it
again
and
one
of
the
things
that
I've
noticed.
P
That's
come
to
my
attention
and
I'm
bringing
this
up,
because
I'm
getting
a
lot
of
calls
that,
in
the
back
of
brookstone
they're,
feel
everything's
flooding
it's
flooding
soon,
as
we
get
a
rain
it
floods
back
there.
I
know
we've
had
a
lot
of
work
at
the
roundabout,
we're
having
a
lot
of
development
along
brookstone
creek,
all
the
way,
all
the
way
up
into,
let's
just
say
down
river
road
coming
back.
P
It
all
feeds
all
this
water
feeds
right
out
there
at
roaring
branch,
creek
and
and
brookstone,
and
it's
come
to
my
attention
that
with
this
backup
that
something
needs
to
be
done
there
and
it's
almost
like
a
you
know,
a
funnel
effect
or
a
dam
effect
where
all
this
stuff
is
just
built
right
back
up
those
sandbars
and
all
are
back
out
there
again
that
we
dredged,
even
at
the
mouth
of
that
bridge
on
on
the
lake
oliver
side
on
the
marina
side,
is
really
it's
built
up
to
the
point
where
you
just
thinned
it
down
to
it's
a
bottleneck.
P
P
I
would
suspect
that
you
would
might
want
to
look
at
some
hydrology
or
request
some
hydrology
engineers
to
take
a
look
at
it,
but
it's
you
know
I
did
put
it
on
this
list,
it's
not
on
the
spots
list
and
we're
making
requests
at
the
state
level.
But
this
is
a
problem
and
it's
going
to
get
bigger
lake.
Oliver
marinas
right
there,
I'm
sure,
might
start
getting
complaints
there
again
about
just
the
the
water
levels
diminishing.
P
P
We
haven't
talked
about
that.
I
don't
know
where
the
funds
would
come
from,
but
certainly
whether
splots,
whether
we
have
funds
federal
funds,
state
funds,
we've
asked-
I
think
you
might
want
to
bring
in
our
state
legislator
in
that
area
of
aunt
smith,
to
even
maybe
look
at
it
and
see
what
he
he
can
do
on
his
side
at
the
state
level.
But
I'm
getting
a
lot
of
calls
with
with
problems
of
flooding.
P
B
We'll
come
back
to
mayor
pro
tem
in
just
a
little
bit.
That's
all
the
questions
right
now,
deputy
manager.
B
B
Help
counselor
thomas.
J
Mr
cinnamon,
mr
city
manager,
I
have
two
items
dealing
with
the
recycle
program.
The
first
one
is
when
I
came
into
this
meeting
today.
I
drove
down
front
avenue,
and
I
noticed
that
there
were
several
spots
along
front
avenue
where
the
residents
or
the
people
in
the
those
offices
had
put
their
recycle
cans
out,
and
I
thought,
oh,
that
looks
good
until
I
looked
at
the
recycle
cans
and
they
were
right
next
to
each
other
so
that
our
new
truck
with
its
grab
all
that's.
J
Not
be
able
to
empty
those
trucks,
my
question
is:
do
we
have
some
kind
of?
I
don't
know
notice
that
we
give
those
folks
to
say
move
it.
You.
D
L
L
Yeah
well,
of
course,
you
know,
we've
done
all
those
things,
but
the
bigger
thing
that
I
think
about
when
you
share
that
with
me
is
on
my
recycle.
Can
it
has
this
huge
sticker
with
pictures
on
it?
That
says
it
tells
you
step
by
step
instructions.
L
J
I
don't
know
if
it
would
be
advantageous
to
us
just
to
do
a
flyer
for
right
now,
since
this
is
is
new.
Quite
frankly,
I
have
recycled
since
we
started
it,
and
I
don't
remember
that
sticker
well,.
L
They
just
what
they've
done
is
as
they've
gone
out.
If
you
had
an
old,
can
they
put
a
sticker
on
it
and
then,
when
you
retrieve
it
at
the
sticker
or
if
you
got
a
new,
can
it
has
that
huge
sticker
on
there
almost
like
an
eight
and
a
half
by
eleven,
and
it
just
it
stuck
on
top
of
your
lid
on
your
recycle?
That
says,
and
it
shows
a
picture
of
places
and
secure
all
of
that
three
feet,
and
so
we
just
got
to
continue
to
advertise
and
talk
to
people
and
flyers.
J
You
know,
I
think
mr
city
manager,
those
folks
that
put
those
cans
out
on
front
street
probably
are
going
to
say.
Oh
god,
you
know
yeah,
because
they
they
were
doing
the
right
thing
for
before
we
got
the
the
graval
thing
so.
J
J
Are
we
doing
something
with
the
smaller
18
gallon
bins?
I
call
them
mr
crittel's
office
and
the
woman
that
I
talked
to
was
very
helpful
and
said
I'll
get
back
to
you.
We
need
she
sort
of
indicated
to
me.
They
hadn't
thought
of
that.
Yet
you
know,
but
we
need
to
do
something
for
those
folks
who
cannot
physically
get
the
can
out
and
and
back
I
could
take
the
can
to
the
street,
but
then
I.
D
J
Get
back
to
my
house
you'd
have
to
you
know,
take
me
back
to
my
house.
So
just
just
be
aware
of
that.
If,
if
you're
not
and
let's
see
what
we
can
do
to
make
sure
that
that's
that
those
folks
can
because
I
think,
if,
if
we
don't
do
something
with
them,
they'll
just
quit
recycling
and
we
don't
want
them
to
do
that.
L
Okay,
I've
got
michael
criddle
here
and
he's
gonna
speak
to
that.
L
J
Mr
crittel,
the
woman
that
I
talked
to
in
your
office
yesterday
was
very,
very
helpful
and
very
very
nice
to
talk
with.
I
want
you
to
know
that.
L
S
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
I'll.
Let
her
know
that
she
is
very
pleasant,
much
more
so
than
me.
So
that's
good!
That's
not
a
high
bar,
but
she
is
very
pleasant.
I
won't
let
you
know
we
have
thought
about
the
situation.
We've
actually
talked
to
two
or
three
other
cities
about
this
and
it's
a
similar
problem.
It's
nothing
unique
to
columbus.
Of
course,
what
we're
trying
to
get
is
a
is
a
35.
S
They
make
a
32
and
a
35
gallon,
which
is
a
little
fella
still
on
wheels
and
about
half
the
size
of
the
ones
we
we're
delivering
now,
which
are
65,
gallons
and
even
smaller
than
the
you
know,
the
big
ones
which
are
94
gallon.
The
problem
is,
we
can't
get
them.
We
there's
just,
I
guess,
there's
a
global
shortage
of
plastic
and
materials
and
people
and
everything
we
cannot
get
any
35
gallon
carts
or
32
gallon
carts
time.
We're
working
on
that,
though,
that's
our
solution.
S
J
J
S
L
I
I
I
was
reluctant
to
say
all
of
that
on
air,
but
I
don't
know
if
you
can
do
that
for
recycling,
especially
during
this
particular
time
with
the
shortage
of
personnel.
But
I
wanted
you
to
just
be
aware
that
we
do
have
a
special
service
for
people
matured,
people
who
have
disability
issues.
How
are
people
actually
go
to
the
door?
S
L
J
That
you
and
mr
crittel
both
are
committed
to
making
sure
that
that
our
citizens
get
the
service
that
they
want
and
they
need
so
don't
don't
give
up
on
this
yet
sure
continue
to
to
talk
about
it
and
run
it
through
and
let's
see
what
we
can
do.
Yes,
okay,
we.
B
P
Mr
city
manager,
I've
for
pardon
me,
I
forgot
one
thing:
I
wrote
it
down
on
my
notes
here
for
you,
but
I
you
know
it's
kind
of
an
irritating
subject,
but
really,
when
you
add
it
all
up,
it's
a
public
safety
matter,
it's
very
dangerous.
P
We.
I
brought
this
up
before
about
the
matter
with
the
railroad
crossings,
but
I
mean
just
you
know,
9th
street.
P
You
know
everybody
ride
back
down
9th
street
to
4th
avenue
and
just
take
a
look
at
it.
I
mean
seriously:
there's
there's
craters
literally
craters
along
that
railroad
track
and
if
somebody
runs
into
those
it's
going
to
be
dangerous.
Those
are
not
like
potholes
they're,
huge
right
and
it's
not
just
that.
It's
the
it's
the
railroad
crossings
and
I
know
miss
city
manager.
You
said
you're
working
on
it,
but
we
really
need.
We
need
an
update.
We
need
an
action
plan.
We
need
to
know
what
norfolk
southern,
the
railroad
companies
that
have
these
crossings.
P
P
They
really
are
and
there's
no
reason
why
they
can't
pay
attention
to
our
city
where
they're
doing
business.
It's
just
it's
gotten
bad
and
I
noticed
even
that
up
on
fourth
fourth
avenue
that
there's
somebody
went
in
and
made
some
patches.
They
made
it
worse.
Well,
and
I
was
gonna
point
and
I
had
I
just
you
know,
I'm
concerned
I
really
am,
and
I
just
don't
see
a
lot
of
action
and
over
the
years,
quite
frankly,
I
don't
know
those
folks
are
probably
good
people.
P
I
haven't
seen
a
lot
of
action
over
the
years
and,
like
I
said,
I
think
it's
the
way.
I
interpret
the
law
that
they
are
required
to
maintain
and
upkeep
those
adequately
and
they're,
not
adequate
they're,
actually
very
dangerous,
and
if
there's
a
wreck
or
somebody
gets
a
problem
whatever
I
mean
who's
going
to
be
responsible
for
all
that,
are
they
going
to
take
the
responsibility
in
all
this?
P
Well
so
anyway,
I
know
it's
kind
of
irritating.
I
know
you,
don't
specifically
that's
not.
L
Well,
you
know
you
did
bring
that
to
our
attention.
We
did
contact
them,
they
did
come
in
and
they
did
some
patchwork,
as
you
said
only
in
certain
spots
and
they
didn't
ride
the
whole
stretch
from
you
know
to
to
do
it.
You
know
right
there
at
veterans
and
ninth.
They
did
some
limited
patchwork
and
another
area
right
at
second
and
they
did.
But
you
get
on
up
between
broadway
and
front,
and
I
mean
it's
terrible.
L
They
didn't
do
anything,
and
so
we
need
to
follow
up
with
them
to
let
them
know
that.
Thank
you
for
coming,
but
that's
you
know
we
need
better
and
and-
and
let
me
just
say
to
the
law
for
years
I
mean
they've
done
basically
what
they
want
to
do,
and
I
mean
we
pursue
them
and,
and
sometimes
they
won't
follow
up,
but
we've
got,
we
do
have
one
contact
that
seems
to
be
responsive
and,
and
so
we've
just
got
to
use
that
particular
kind
of
contact.
L
I
know
that
we
brought
him
to
town
it's
been
several
months
ago.
He
met
with
the
mayor,
met
with
me,
staff
and,
and
I
I
think
we
might
be
able
to
get
good
results
from
him.
He
happens
to
be
their
lobbyist
and
and
so
we
just
got
to
keep
working
it.
But
right
it's
it's.
It's
tough,
dealing
with
the
railroad.
P
Well,
I
think
everybody
would
would
would
agree
it
sitting
around
this
council
chambers
that
it's
a
bad
reflection
on
all
of
us.
It
really
is
but,
like
you
said,
miss
city
manager
having
this
conversation
personally,
there's
not
a
lot.
We
can
do
because
that's
that's
their
property,
I
mean
that's
their
property,
they
have
rights
to
that
and
it's
not
like
the
city.
I
think
we
have
to.
If
we
did
anything,
we'd
have
to
go,
ask
permission.
Well,
we
can't
touch
it.
That's
that's
what
I'm
saying.
P
Touch
it,
I
guess
I
want
people
in
our
city,
the
citizens
of
our
city,
to
know
it's,
not
the
city,
neglecting
all
this
stuff,
these
railroad
crossings,
because
it's
you
know
like
I
said
it
makes
us
all.
Look
bad
and
it's
a
direct
reflection
upon
us,
but
it's
it's
the
railroad's
responsibility
to
do
that,
we're
trying
at
least
we're
trying,
because
it
it
it's
getting
dangerous.
Yes,
very
dangerous.
I
know
everybody
probably
has
a
railroad
crossing
in
their
district
somewhere.
That's
an
issue
so
anyway.
D
B
B
I
guess
it's
not
that
we're
not
willing
to
fix
these
things.
It's
that
we
can.
So
I
think
it's,
I
think
it's
a
good
topic
to
bring
up
from
time
to
time,
just
to
make
sure
number
one
that
the
railroad
knows
that
we're
watching
and
number
two
that
the
public
understands
that
we're
sort
of
tied
our
hands
are
tied
on
some
of
it.
R
Mississippi
manager,
if
you
would
check
on
me
and
get
me
an
update
on
the
apartment
complex
there
on
thursday
avenue
next
to
the
church,
it's
a
church
of
christ,
there
it's
an
apartment,
complex
to
the
right
and
they
had
checked
up
on
the
flooding,
it's
a
u-shaped
complex
and
they
had
met
with
the
I
think,
owner
of
the
complex
and
the
church
and
all
and
trying
to
figure
it
out.
R
L
M
Give
me
one
moment:
I
just
lost
it:
okay,
city
manager,
I'm
not
sure
this
should
be
well
I'll,
I'll,
give
it
to
you
and
then
you
can
afford
I'm
not
sure
of
engineering
needs.
You
know
on
on
victory,
drive
across
jason
to
walmart,
where
gus
restaurant
used
to
be
they
did
the
really
beautiful
car
wash
right
there
well
in
front
of
that
car
wash
that
road
there.
I
remember
when
we
were
talking
to
gus.
There
was
discussion
about
aligning
that
road
or
something
it
looks
really
awful
I'll.
M
Send
you
the
picture
that
I
took
when
I
drove
by
there
yesterday
it
looks
terrible.
We
got
a
new
developer
in
that
area,
cleaned
it
up
beautiful
and
that
front
little
piece
looks
like
it's
in
world
war
iii.
There's
concrete!
You
know
those
concretes
where
you
stop
traffic,
the
grass
is
up
high.
It
takes
away
from
the
whole
new
development.
M
M
B
E
Next,
I
just
have
one
board
appointment:
this
is
a
council
appointment.
Any
nominations
will
be
listed
for
the
next
meeting
for
the
region:
6
regional
advisory
council
for
department
of
behavior
health
and
developmental
disabilities.
We
have
the
seat
of
beverly
garland
mayor
pro.
Tem
allen
is
nominating
christopher
posey
for
this
seat
and
we
will
bring
this
back
at
the
next
meeting
for
confirmation-
and
that's
all
I
have
mr
mayor.
J
Just
real
quickly,
if
I
may,
those
of
you
in
in
here
who
are
watching
whatever

Thank
